Answer:

700.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves two similar triangles.

Both triangles are right triangles.

One has legs measuring 1 cm and 30 cm. We can find the hypotenuse by using the Pythagorean theorem.

(1 cm)^2 + (30 cm)^2 = c^2

c^2 = 901 cm^2

c = sqrt(901) cm

The second triangle has one leg with length 700 cm. This leg corresponds to the 30-cm leg in the other triangle. Since the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to find the hypotenuse of the second triangle.

(30 cm)/(700 cm) = [sqrt(901) cm]/x

3/70 = sqrt(901) cm/x

3x = 70 * sqrt(901) cm

x = 70 * sqrt(901) cm/3

x = 700.4 cm

Answer: 700.4 cm

Find the exact value of cot(15degrees) using half angle formulas?

liubo4ka [24]

Double angle (or half angle, depending how you look at it) identities:

$\cos^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{1+\cos x}2$

$\sin^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{1-\cos x}2$

$\implies\cot^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{\cos^2\frac x2}{\sin^2\frac x2}=\dfrac{1+\cos x}{1-\cos x}$

So we have

$\cot^215^\circ=\dfrac{1+\cos30^\circ}{1-\cos30^\circ}=\dfrac{1+\frac{\sqrt3}2}{1-\frac{\sqrt3}2}$

$\implies\cot^215^\circ=7+4\sqrt3$

$\implies\cot15^\circ=\sqrt{7+4\sqrt3}=2+\sqrt3$

Note that when taking the square root, we should take into account that that could yield two possible solutions, but we know $\cos15^\circ>0$ and $\sin15^\circ>0$ , so it's also the case that $\cot15^\circ>0$ .

Also, the reason we have equality in the last step can be explained like so:

$7+4\sqrt3=4+4\sqrt3+3=4+4\sqrt3+(\sqrt3)^2=(2+\sqrt3)^2$

(not unlike the process used to complete the square)
